We were actually still at the gate, honest! There was a technician onboard attempting to fix the system to make the 5+ hour trip tolerable. I actually witnessed two reboots, but the system never worked. Thank god for sudoku. Hahah… We were actually still at the gate, honest!

The Geode, ram, flash and ethernet will likely be under 3x5" single component side SMT 4 layer. The LCD will be a far bigger board. The boot spew would have been interesting to see MTD (Memory Technology) devices, drivers and OS version. A Geode is about as thin as you can get.
